Tomorrow cannot come soon enough. Even though it will be spendy (2 meals out and $20 for parking in the garage next to the hospital), it means I'll have some more freedom afterwards. At least if all goes well. I'll be glad to be able to hang my dresses back up and get into trousers and shorts again, that's for sure. They will still have to be loose fitting, don't want anything tight against the insicion site, but still. I should be okayed to drive. Then I'll only have to come back one week later and have the lost follow up and then I'll be done until November.

My first appointment is with radiology and is at 1. It shouldn't take more than 45 minutes. My second appointment is at 2:15 with the doctor who will read the results of the test and then do an exam and make sure everything is healing. I hope it doesn't take more than an hour because then we can get out of there before rush hour hits Seattle.

The cafeteria food at the hospital is quite good and reasonably priced so one of our meals will be there. We will also be filling up the gas tank on the way down. It is half full right now, but I never like to risk anything but a full tank in Seattle traffic. The kids will be taking plenty to do with them since they are going to be sitting in the waiting room with my mother for a fair bit of the day. I have a book I have just started so I should be fine with just that.
